Polymorphism, Restriction Fragment Length
Research News and Information
Definition of 'Polymorphism, Restriction Fragment Length'Variation occurring within a species in the presence or length of DNA fragment generated by a specific endonuclease at a specific site in the genome. Such variations are generated by mutations that create or abolish recognition sites for these enzymes or change the length of the fragment. Common names: Polymorphism, Restriction Fragment Length; RFLPs; Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphisms; Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism; RFLP |

To explore the relationship between human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and Mycobacterium tuberculosis genotypes, we performed IS6110-based restriction fragment-length polymorphism analysis on M. tuberculosis culture specimens from patients with ... Read more...
Identification of a novel functional deletion variant in the 5'-UTR of the DJ-1 gene.
11 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: DJ-1 forms part of the neuronal cellular defence mechanism against oxidative insults, due to its ability to undergo self-oxidation. Oxidative stress has been implicated in the pathogenesis of central nervous system damage in different ... Read more...
Distribution of Malassezia species in patients with pityriasis versicolor in Northern Iran.
29 Sep 2009 PURPOSE: Malassezia yeasts are globally distributed agents of pityriasis versicolor and are implicated in the pathogenesis of seborrhoeic and atopic dermatitis. The aim of this study is to identify the Malassezia species obtained from pityriasis ... Read more...
